Taiwan if that makes a difference, just not this week
The software team and I have something of an understanding along the lines of I shout at them because they're not on time, they ignore me, I shout at them because they're even later, they ignore me some more
No, not really, but I do give them some flack when needed. I also give them praise when they do something really good, like the new on-screen keyboard, as that was really unexpected.
I think the automation UI will be really good once it's done, I know some will complain that it's not an app, but the real deal here is that everything runs on the Almond+, so no matter if you have internet or not,your rules will work. If this isn't a great feature on its own, I don't know what is. It might not have some of the complex issues some of our backers/customers might want, but I think that'll be less than 1% once we add things like weather and dusk/dawn, as for this release, times will be the only thing you can do beyond triggers of some kind, although you can combine time and triggers, or set a time window in which if a certain trigger(s) are meet, then something will happen.
I'm not sure if the time and weather apps will be in the release, but I hope so, we've been testing them internally and they seem to work ok overall. It won't look as fancy as the Almond for now, but we'll get that done over time. I guess.
Even though I didn't expect it, we've added support for some new sensors, improved lock related things and made big improvements on the Z-Wave stack in general. Things are happening even though it might not like like at times.
